The flooding in South Louisiana that has taken place on August 13th has impacted thousands of people right here in our home town. Thousands of Louisianans are coming together to help strangers evacuate their homes and bring them to shelters. Families have been ripped apart, homes have been flooded to the rooflines with water and cars have been flooded and lost in 10 foot waters. But this will not stop the citizens of Louisiana. We will come out stronger than ever all while helping each other out more than ever. Here at All Star, we pride ourselves in supporting our local communities and truly believe that together we the people of Louisiana are an “ALL STAR FAMILY.”

Our entire staff is working very diligently to get our locations that have been effected, back up and running as soon as possible. Here is a list of all of the current standings of our locations:

Friends, customers, and coworkers, many of you have been contacting us about replacing your vehicles. As of right now we still cannot get to the dealership. We are in the process of obtaining replacement inventory from both manufacturers as well as bringing pre owned vehicles from other locations. With a little luck we are hoping to be able to begin assisting customers by this weekend.

Wondering how to help in the community? We have put a list together of just a few of the many ways to help give back to our community, during this time of need.

Many shelters have opened all around Louisiana, to help those that are in need during this historic event.

Although it may still feel like summer time outside, back-to-school time is right around the corner. August is always a busy month for parents and kids. Parents are trying to squeeze in last minute vacations and the kids are wanting to play with their friends all day! One item that is not usually on the top of the to-do list when heading back to school is your vehicle maintenance. Whether you’re attending high school, heading back to college or you’re the chauffeur for your family, your vehicle is going to need a little TLC before heading back to school and work!

Keep Up with Basic Maintenance

Make sure to complete simple maintenance tasks like oil changes and tire rotations. Check all the fluid levels and top them off if necessary including brake fluid, transmission fluid and coolant. If you can’t remember the last time you changed your wiper blades, you might want to invest in some now before rain’s fall takes its toll. While these are simple, minimal maintenance items, they will extend the life of your vehicle and keep it functioning properly!

Check the Lights

This is a good time to get your kids involved in the preventive maintenance checklist review. Have him or her get in the car and turn on the headlights, turn signals and emergency flashing lights as you walk around the vehicle to make sure they are working. Check the brake lights by having him or her press the brake pedal, too. Vehicles can have many different types of bulbs and they have varying lifespans, according to Firestone. Inspect your vehicle regularly to ensure your lights are working properly.

Up-To-Date

Before your college-bound kiddo hits the road, make sure their vehicle has an up-to-date inspection sticker, car registration, driver’s license and an insurance card. At most colleges, these are the things your child will need in order to purchase a parking tag to be able to park on campus. This may be tedious to check and update, but these are vital things in order to send your child on the road to college!

Make sure to schedule a service appointment with one of our certified technicians that will be able to service your vehicle and get you back on the road! Doing routine maintenance on your vehicle will not only ensure your safety on the road, but it will also prolong the life of your vehicle!

This week, we’d like to share a 5-star review from a very satisfied customer of All Star Ford!

After going to several BR dealerships and not being treated like a serious customer, I decided to venture outward. As soon as I walked in Ben came right over, introduced himself and began to ask what I was looking for. We discussed what I was looking for and we proceeded onto a test drive. He took the time to explain a lot of the features of the truck while on the drive and even after he continued to show me all of the great features of the truck and how they worked. When the truck was a little outside of my budget he worked with and for me and found me another truck, and now I have exactly what I wanted all thanks to him. If you are in the market for a new or used car talk to BEN He was GREAT!!! Thanks again BEN!
